Chiesa di San Domenico

The church features a wide single nave with travertine stone blocks on its facade and small windows flanking the wooden entrance door.

Construction started in 1266 by Dominican friars, followed by periods of abandonment until its reconsecration in 1994 after extensive restoration work.

Several frescoes decorate the interior walls, including a fifteenth-century Crucifixion painting from the Sienese school and works by Liberato da Rieti.

The church remains open for religious services and houses a monumental organ built between 2004 and 2009 based on eighteenth-century designs.

The building served multiple purposes throughout its history, including military barracks, a sawmill, and a garage before returning to its religious function.
